    @joan6630: I’m stripping/refinishing a desk for my (almost) 11 year old boy. I’ve never done that before so hoping it turns out well.
    @beckyhunnable: Congrats on the 10% goal achieved

    JFT 01/20
    1) Run 3.05 miles in
    2) Maybe a second run tonight? (I’ve been missing them the last few days)
    3) Chores caught up (dishes)
    4) Furniture project (almost done with Stage 1!)
    5) “That” door
    6) Stealing one from @TerriRichardson112: De-clutter for 15 minutes.

    /// END OF DAY RECAP ///
    Just for today - JANUARY 20, 2016.
    1. Log everything I put into my mouth :)
    2. Drink tea or water before eating meals, to make sure that I'm truly hungry and not just craving food just because I'm bored or can't think of anything else to keep me occupied. :)
    3. Meet my calorie goals, and once met, STOP... drink water, realize that I need to learn my limits! :)
    4. Go to the gym afterwork - strength work! :)
    5. Sugar legs (in preparation for vacation!) >:) ... got home too late, will try again tomorrow.

    Gym workout was a beat, but I got it done and I'm super proud! Came under my calories, didn't eat my exercise calories either, yay! Hope you all had a great day, and if you didn't, don't sweat it - you get a brand new clean slate tomorrow! Goodnight wonderful JFT peeps!

    Thanks for your support bri170lb <3

    Bank 50 calories per day from walking for 30 minutes a day to ''splurge'' on two glasses of wine each week
    Underestimate hiking calories by logging it as walking
    Underestimate walking calories by halving the duration and by choosing a slower km/hr rate

    JFT Wednesday
    1. Day 3 Foundation
    2. Dishes
    3. Vacuum Living Room and work on spots
    4. Paper log food (didn't weigh breakfast or lunch, so just for documentation of some sort). My weight loss really has stagnated to about 10-11years ago levels where I was steady for a while. I need to reevaluate what/how much I'm eating again especially since I've been less active with the randomly changing weather.

    BAM! 90% done - didn't log my dinner but I did mentally make a list of things eaten, which still counts towards the mindful eating.

    JFT Thursday
    1. Day 4 Foundation
    2. log food
    3. clear driveway/walkway if needed after work

    I can tell the week is coming to a close because I'm getting tired and SLOW. I got up at the same time like I do each day but it just didn't seem like enough time to do all my morning routine... boo... in other news! The weekend is closer!

    Just for today - JANUARY 20, 2016.
    1. Log everything I put into my mouth
    2. Drink tea or water before eating meals, to make sure that I'm truly hungry and not just craving food just because I'm bored or can't think of anything else to keep me occupied.
    3. Meet my calorie goals, and once met, STOP... drink water, realize that I need to learn my limits!
    4. Go to the gym afterwork to do some walking on the treadmill as part of an active restorative day (optional)
    5. Sugar legs (today is the day!)

    Good luck everyone and make it a great Thursday!

    To remember why I want to lose the weight, which is because I want to get back to a weight I feel is sexy to me and to get to a weight where I feel I can gain 30 lbs on top of it for pregnancy weight:) Looking forward to trying for a baby by next year:) also to record food and put energy into exercising today.
